Juniors

Goodwood Cricket Club has an extensive Junior program catering for Under 10's up to Under 17's

In the 2017/2018 season, Goodwood Cricket Club (GCC) fielded 15 teams in the Adelaide Turf Cricket Association. Age groups include; u/14 girls, u/10’s, u/12B’s, u/12’s u/14’s, u/15’s and u/17’s. This has increased from the 9 junior teams fielded in 2015/16. Where possible we welcome all players, improving their playing skills, social skills and having some cricket fun!

Goodwood cricket club also currently fields seven senior teams to make it the largest club in the state and the only club in the area where players of all abilities can play cricket continuously from 7 years old (currently our youngest playing member) to 75 years old (currently our oldest active playing member). We field teams from A1 Premier, the highest level of community cricket right down to more social Limited Over sides. Goodwood also offers Milo into Cricket on Friday nights in Term 4. Goodwood is a successful club with regular premiership sides and competitive right throughout the grades.

Goodwood Cricket club is a community cricket club playing on turf wickets with a home base at Goodwood Oval, which is rated as the number one cricket ground in our Association. Being community minded we provide opportunities for cricketers of all ages and abilities. We pride ourselves on the family nature of our junior cricket club and encourage active involvement of families in their child’s cricket experience; it has to be fun for mum and dad too!

Our Juniors are the future of our club and we encourage all of our players to go on to play Senior cricket at the club, or onto district affiliated clubs with the hope that one day players may return to Goodwood to continue their cricketing journey. Our aim is to ensure all junior cricketers see Goodwood as “their” cricket club.

Our junior cricket program is overseen by our head Junior Coach and each team has a match day coach. As per Association rules, each team require a Match Day coach and Team Manager – these are volunteer positions and are parents of the playing group.

All junior training is held at Goodwood Oval Cricket Nets on Friday evenings. Canteen facilities and the BBQ are always running for parents to socialize and relax while their children are enjoying training. Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in assisting in training or assist with BBQ and canteen duties. The surrounds of Goodwood oval make a great place to relax and unwind after a hard week.

Goodwood Cricket Club has online registration which an email prompt will be sent out in early August each year. Existing players and their siblings are given priority and prospective new members should register their details with the junior co coordinator BEFORE registrations. The junior co coordinator can be contacted via a link on this page.
